Chrome Vent Ball Linkage
My passenger side chrome vent ball linkage is rusted frozen and I cannot get it to operate. I want to replace it, but, cannot find a source.
Does anyone know where I can get this linkage from teh pull **** to the flap?
Thanks,
Dino

I don't think anyone is repo-ing these parts. I'm sure you can pick up a good used one at Paragon Vintage. I've been to their place and they have a lot of used parts.

Dino, i have freed up those rusted linkages to make them work smooth using a wire wheel on a dremel tool. did you take yours apart to clean it up? If the parts arent missing/broken that is an easy fix. Once you get it free put some white grease on it to keep it from rusting fast.
Ed,
I have sprayed it was some liquid wrench to see if it will free up. I will try the dremel idea next. The linkage is all there, just frozen in place.
Thanks,
Dino
